Ebase list readers, The sulfnbk 'virus' is a hoax. It can be looked up on the www.sarc.com web site (that's the folks that do Norton Antivirus) or others. At www.sarc.com it's at:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html Please do NOT delete this file from your hard drive. It's a Windows system file that relates to long file names. You'll have to find a new copy if you do delete it.
